Snugshot

A little home for your screenshots

You take the shot.
We keep it close.

The screenshots you already take, a click away. Search inside screenshots, copy images or text, and get back to what you were doing—with a little floating button on your Mac.

Find the words. Copy the text.

Search words inside your screenshots, then use Copy text or ⇧ ⌘ C to paste them into your work. English and Arabic recognition runs locally, with cached results and background indexing. Check Settings for Arabic availability on your macOS version.

Keep your flow.
Keep your screenshots closer.

Capture a detail, send a reference, save something for later. Snugshot takes care of the small moment between taking a screenshot and using it.

01

Take it as usual.

Keep using ⌘ ⇧ 3 or ⌘ ⇧ 4. Connect your screenshot folder once, and new saved screenshots appear automatically.

02

Reach it in a moment.

Click your floating button, use the menu bar, or press your shortcut. Your newest screenshot is right there, with search and pins for the ones you keep.

03

Use it. Move on.

Copy an image or its text, share, preview, or drag a screenshot into your work. Finished with it? Move it to Trash, with an undo when you need it.

At home on your Mac

A small presence.
Exactly where you want it.

Move the button to your favourite spot. Make it smaller, give it more room, or hide it and use a shortcut. With native Liquid Glass on macOS 26 and later.

Does it work with Mac screenshots?

Yes. Snugshot watches the folder where macOS saves your screenshots. Connect that folder on first launch. Clipboard-only screenshots aren’t saved there, so they won’t appear in Snugshot.

Can I search and copy screenshot text?

Yes. Search matches filenames and recognized words inside screenshots. Use Copy text or ⇧⌘C for plain-text extraction. Recognition runs on your Mac and cached results speed up later searches. First use may take longer while macOS prepares recognition. English and Arabic availability is shown in Settings; older macOS versions may not support Arabic.

Does it upload my screenshots?

Snugshot reads screenshots from the folder you choose on your Mac. Your images and recognized text stay on your Mac; neither is uploaded for text recognition. Sharing happens when you choose a destination through the Share action.

Can I hide the floating button?

Yes. Turn it off in Settings and open the gallery from the menu bar or your chosen keyboard shortcut. The default shortcut is Control–Shift–G.

Which Macs does it support?

Snugshot is built for Apple silicon and Intel Macs running macOS 14 or later. Liquid Glass is used on macOS 26 and later, with a native material appearance on earlier versions.

How do I install the beta?

Download the DMG, open it, and drag Snugshot into Applications. If Snugshot is already in Applications, choose Replace when Finder asks. Eject the installer when finished. Future updates are available inside Settings → Check for updates. Open Snugshot and connect the folder where your Mac saves screenshots. This is an early beta; read the release notes for setup tips and current limitations.
